Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 11, 1906.

Application filed July 16, 1906- Serial N0. 326.462.

T0 wZl whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL MILLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Concordia, in the county of Cloud and State of Kansas, haveinvented a new and useful Bottle, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention has relation to bottles; and it consists in the novelconstruction and arrangement of its parts, as hereinafter shown anddescribed.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple, cheap, and efiectivebottle which when once emptied of its contents cannot be refilled Thebottle consists, primarily, of a closed neck having a seat located atits point of connection with the body of the bottle. A sliding stopperis retained within the neck and when the bottle is in upright positionrests upon the said seat. A duct or channel extends in from the end ofthe neck and is slightly longer than the length of the said stopper, andwhen the bottle is in inverted position the said stopper moves away fromthe seat and-passes along the said duct-or channel, and the liquid whichfollows the stopper may pass out through the said duct or channel.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a transverse section of theupper portion of the bottle in upright position. Fig. 2 is a transversesection of the upper portion of the bottle in inverted position. Fig. 3is a horizontal sectional view of the bottle-neck.

The bottle 1 is provided with the neck 2, at I plurality of suchchannels may be provided, if desired. The stopper 6 fits snugly withinthe neck 2 and is adapted to slide longitudinally thereof. The saidstopper 6 is cylindrical and is-provided with the squared ends7 7. Thelongitudinal axis of the stopper 6 is less than the longitudinal axis ofthe duct or channel 5. When the bottle is in upright position, the lowersquared face of the stopper 6 rests upon the seat 3 and the bottle issealed. When, however, the bottle is inverted, the stopper 6 is actedupon by gravity and moves toward the opposite closed end of the neck 2.WVhen the squared ends 7'of the said stopper 6 which is located nearestthe seat 3 pass below the inner end of the duct or channel 5, the liquidenters the said duct or channel and flows through the same out of thebottle.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

A bottle, a neck attached to the bottle, a seat formed at the pointwhere said neck joins the bottle, a stopper slidably located in saidneck, said neck having its outer end integrally closed and a channellocated in its side and passing through the closed end of the neck andbeing longer than thelongitudinal axis of the stopper, the stopperforming one of the longitudinal sides of the channel when the bottle isinverted. I

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in the presence of two witnesses.

EMIL MILLER.
